Ricasoli Colledila Chianti Classico 1/1500 2008

Castello Brolio Colledilà Chianto Classico DOCG | 100% Sangiovese (their very own clone: the Brolio Sangiovese clone) and entirely single vineyard –a cru Chianti Classico but a ripe and rounded example of great extraction –of bright black fruit countered by currant paste, warm raw vanilla bean and brown spices kept in check by black tea tannins and a deep dark core of character the whole way down lifting up at the end with root spices.
